Heh, maybe your idea of "fine" is different from our idea of "fine".

I like Windowx XP Pro to be good. I also like Slax linux.

My idea of fine is under five minutes to load, and that it doesn't take 10 seconds to load windows calculator.

It all depeneds in what you use your computer for. Windows XP is the best all around but i have been thinking about using my old computer as a Linux computer and not to mention the great UNIX Shell:)
 
I think Windows Xp Is the best because you get loads of good things on it like......::::: Window Office 2003 and loads of other good stuff

You do? Maybe if you purchase your system from Dell or HP and it ships with Windows office 2003 etc. Last I checked, if you pick up a Windows XP disk off your local dealers shelf it does not have that.

I'll not bother answering this question.. It'll be interesting enough reading the debate.

Edit:

Has anyone here actually run xp with 64MB ram? Well, just to tell you, IT'S NOT PRETTY!!! We're talking like clicking the start menu, and waiting 15 seconds for it to open, and this is on a fresh install of xp, with no internet, no additional programs nothing, just after install. IT IS NOT NICE.
And may I add that there was a 900Mhz processor running this computer!

Not entirely true. I installed it on an old laptop with 64mb's of ram and aprox. 500mhz CPU (the CPU is a guess). This laptop ran fantastic and snappy. Problem does come when you install apps on top of it like Norton Anti virus. The computer will come to an halt.

You had a configuration problem with your system then ;-).

Yeah, Apple cant do a thing. I mean, using *nix as a base in the beginning was a huge mistake.

... I know this is an old thread and an old post but the above quote made me laugh. I personally think MAC OSX being built around Unix was FINALLY a step in the right direction! ..Smoko, I could not disagree with you more!

Believe me when I say Smoko was being sarcastic. If he was serious he's gone through a dramatic change of heart, and I would be inclined to slap him :o .
 
well going back to what he first said i would say, linux sertainly needs some getting used to. obviously because you have never tryed it you dont know what they can do.

and xp is under the thregt of viruses but software is obviously large ammounts of.
